INTERNATIONAL ANARCHIST MOVEMENT:ANARCHIST BOOKFAIRS OF THE WORLD:

The following announcement from the Montréal Anarchist Bookfair/Salon du livre anarchiste de Montréal contains a listing of many of the anarchist bookfairs across the world. It is by no means complete (see our 'Publishers and Distributers' links section for others ) but is is a good guide.@@@@@@@@@@

Happy new year! The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair website - www.anarchistbookfair.ca - includes a compilation of anarchist bookfairs worldwide (on the right side of our website, under 'Liens/Links"). To the best of our knowledge, we've compiled the locations, websites and dates of upcoming bookfairs. We highlight some of the bookfairs happening between January to June 2011 below (including our own Montreal Anarchist Bookfair on May 21-22, 2011). If you have any updates about any bookfairs worldwide, send it to info@anarchistbookfair.ca … See you at one of the bookfairs below!----------

HOUSTON ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR: April 22-24, 2011The Houston Anarchist Book Fair and Film Festival serves to bring radical and alternative literature, education, and culture to Houston, TX, with a focus on resistance and community building. This event is being developed as a vehicle for community organizing, and networking in the southern region of the United States. The book fair will feature a variety of distro’s, infoshops, used and new books, in combination with workshops, skill shares, lectures, speeches, and facilitated open discussions. Through this we hope to create a liberated space, solidarity in the anarchist community and, regional, national and international networking. This event will have a wide array of organizations coming together in building a radical community in the south. The Houston Anarchist book fair and film festival will take place April 22-24, 2011.INFO: http://houstonanarchistbookfair.wordpress.com/----------

BRISTOL ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR: May 7, 2011The 2011 Bristol bookfair is coming at you 4 months earlier this year. It will happen at the end of a week that includes an outrageously expensive royal wedding, local elections and a referendum on the latest parliamentary elections voting scam. It will happen shortly after the budget cuts of the national LibDemCon government, and local councils, will be known; whilst the job losses and cuts inherent in the austerity drive to bail out capitalism will be kicking in. The anarchist bookfair will be the perfect antidote to all this misery and displays of wealth inequality.INFO: http://www.bristolanarchistbookfair.org/----------

The Bookfair is for people who don't necessarily consider themselves anarchists, but are curious about anarchism, as well as a space for anarchists to meet, network and share in a spirit of respect and solidarity. All are welcome.

The Bookfair is organized in a spirit of openness towards the different traditions, visions, and practices of anarchism. Together we share a commitment to promoting anarchism through the values of mutual aid, grassroots democracy, direct action, autonomy and solidarity, while opposing oppression in all its forms.

The Bookfair and Festival of Anarchy provide an important gathering and reference point for anti-authoritarian ideas and practice in North America.
